> The USSS has minigun-equipped SUVs, for example; you wouldn't necessarily know they're there until the six barrel gun pops out of the sunroof and opens fire.

So that scene with Nick Fury in Winter Soldier isn't far removed from reality?

Correct. There's very 90s video here:

Not sure if you intended to link to some QAnon propaganda account, but there are other sources of that same info.

Here's a video showing the vehicle in action:

Sorry about that, just the first one to come up in my search. I just watched a few seconds to confirm it was the vehicle I was thinking of. (Too old to edit/delete. Argh.)

Maybe dang can help you remove it.

I apologize. I should not have assumed it was associated with the other Q. I feel like I'm part of the problem for assuming it was. I didn't do my homework, and I accordingly deserve to admit my mistake.

Please, don't be sorry. You didn't mean anything wrong, and I was actually wrong.

I also noticed the "Q" in the video opening, but youtube appears to indicate the video was uploaded 10 years ago (Sept 4, 2009). Wikipedia's page on QAnon [1] indicates it began in October 2017. It appears the video is a promotional from the Dillon Aero company, and the "Q" graphic appears to be something they included (again, based on upload data, 10 years ago). It seems plausible the "Q" in the video is meant to refer to something different.

Edit: also see the same video from 2007 from another uploader:

It appears "Q" might refer to the product here. Or perhaps it is a James Bond reference.

You're correct. I don't know what the Q refers to, but probably not what I thought. I apologized to OP. I also am sorry to you, for making you do the homework I should have done instead of rushing to condemn. I didn't intend to make this worse by my actions, but I can only admit my mistake and do better in the future. Thanks for your info.
